Whimsy Blog Hop, exciting news!!!

As many of you will know, Kenny K is currently a digital stamp artist (amongst many other things) and although Whimsy will not be carrying any Kenny K digis, we are making some of Kenny's existing designs into rubber and then hopefully adding some new designs along the line that will be exclusive to the Whimsy rubber collection!

So to celebrate this wonderful new venture, the Whimsy Stamps DT plus our fab special Whimsy guests Elaine Hughes, Deb, (me!) and Janna, are holding a BLOG HOP to showcase the EIGHT images that are being made into rubber:

Remember that Whimsy Stamps will be carrying the rubber versions of these stamps only. Kenny K will continue to offer the digital versions in his store. The rubber stamps are available to PRE-ORDER from today from the Whimsy store, and will hopefully be in stock and start shipping the week of 27th December!

Our super-talented Ann (Raindrop Echo Designs) has designed some wonderful digital sentiments that work fabulously with these images - thank you Ann! These are also being released today!

The hop starts today (Thursday December 16th at noon EST) and ends on Thursday December 23rd at noon EST.

For this hop we have 4 different prize draws! The grand prize of ALL 8 of the new release rubber stamps is being hosted by Denise at the very end of the hop, but there are also 3 mini candy stops throughout the hop! I'm not going to tell you where they are, so you'll just have to keep on hopping to find them! *wink* [Winners will be announced on December 23rd after the hop ends - what a wonderful Christmas present for those lucky hoppers!]

For my blog hop creation I used .......Rock Chick, I can't tell you what a dream she was to colour and I am so excited to have these fabulous images in rubber at last! I have made this card for my hubby for our anniversary which is straight after New Year so I have to be organised in advance as there will be no crafting done from now until January! I also used the fabulous music notes stamp designed by Raindrop Echo Designs for Whimsy, I so love this background stamp and intend to use it lots! The papers I used are Basic Grey 'Marjolaine'. For the stars I used my new Martha Stewart punch all over the page star stamp, what a versatile punch that is, love it! Love not having to worry about edges!

So now it's time for you to continue the hop by hopping on over to Chris's blog where I know she has something amazing to show you!

love your card, Deb! The colors and lay-out are fabulous! Hope you're enjoying the holiday season! I'm still playing catch up on blog posts but can't wait to check out your other fabulous cards and projects!

Wow. What a gorgeous card you made. The colours you used are definitely boyish and I love the combo green and blue for men. Love the distressed edge which add depth to the image. Great colouring too.Thank you for the inspiration.Laetitia xx
